next I started painting on my Silks acrylic glazes in the warm colours...

and then I added the cool colours....

next I randomly stencilled on some gesso...
I almost stopped the project here as I really liked the abstract feel of the canvas...

but I decided to keep going.... I designed out my image using gesso... don't be put off if you feel that you can't draw as you can use graphite paper to transfer a photo copied image... and then paint it out...
